this explains a lot

After watching 'The Red Balloon'(below) again after so many years, I decided to dig a little deeper into my early viewing on the television.There were so many very very strange shows on TV when I was a kid.The BBC was just starting to get childrens programing together.We didn't have superman or any comic book hero's. We had 'the Woodentops (this was about a large family that were made out of wood), Then there was 'Rag Tag and Bobtail'(this was about a rabbit and a rat and a snail that lived underground) and then there was the Tales of the river boat' (the main lead in this show was a hamster called Hammy Hamster' Brilliant!!!) But the best one by far was Bill and Ben (yes I know, it sounds a little fruity) this was about two little men who were made out of flowerpots (what else?) and lived in flowerpots. There best friend (apart from each other) was a weed (called weed...what else) anyway do yourself a treat and watch what I was forced to watch as a child.The fact is I loved these shows, it explains a lot ...Pink floyd, Monty Pythons flying circus, oh the list goes on. In fact it explains a lot about me and my early take on things...
